My husband________ a model plane the whole Sunday morning. I thought he would help do some washing.

A.has made

B.made

C.was making

D.had made

答案

答案:C

题目分析:考查时态。句意:—整个星期天的上文我的丈夫都在做飞机模型,我还以为他在洗衣服的。根据句意说明是在过去的一段时间里一直在做的事情,故使用过去进行时。C正确。

点评:英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定,因此在学习英语时态时,要注意分析动词形式及具体语境,想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景,这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。

单项选择题

People are indulging in an illusion whenever they find themselves explaining at a cocktail (鸡尾酒) party, say, that they are "in computers," or "in telecommunications," or "in electronic funds transfer". The implication is that they are part of the high-tech world. Just between US, they usually aren’t. The researchers who made fundamental breakthroughs in those areas are in a high-tech business. The rest of us are ()of their work. We use computers and other new technology components to develop our products or to organize our affairs. Because we go about this work in teams and projects and other tightly knit working groups(紧密联系在一起的工作小组), we are mostly in the human communication business. Our successes stem from good human interactions by all participants in the effort, and our failures stem from poor human interactions.

The main reason we tend to focus on the()rather than the human side of the work is not because it’s more (), but because it’s easier to do. Getting the new disk drive installed is positively trivial compared to figuring out why Horace is in a blue funk (恐惧) or why Susan is dissatisfied with the company after only a few months. Human interactions are complicated and never very crisp (干脆的, 干净利落的) and clean in their effects, but they matter more than any other aspect of the work.

If you find yourself concentrating on the()rather than the (), you’re like the vaudeville character (杂耍人物) who loses his keys on a dark street and looks for them on the adjacent street because, as he explains, "The light is better there!".

The rest of us are () of their work.

A.creators

B.innovators

C.appliers

D.inventors
